I would love to occasionally play with Fractalius , but since that would only happen once in a blue moon, I can't justify $40.
I don't want to steal it, either, but would love to find a cheaper alternative.
Does anyone know of any open source software or even knock-off versions?

Adobe has pixal bender - a free plugin which has some powerful fractal effects.

You might like to have a look at G'MIC //gmic.sourceforge.net/ which had a filter written to create Fractalius like effects: //gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2688

Oh yes... I vaguely remember hearing about that. Does it look really similar to fractalius?
Thanks for the tip, in either case!

I don't like Gimp, but I'll keep that in mind if I get desperate - thanks, Kevin.

Aaww don't be jealous! Look at it this way - MY Sunday is pretty much over, while YOURS hasn't properly started yet.
I am nearly back to work, you're about to enjoy your weekend.
Feel better now?

Probably Fractalius performs slightly different tasks but Pixel Blender is a very interesting plug-in and you should try it. I created my Dallas entry using it:

Yes, that looks great! I have done one like that, too, but it certainly is a totally different animal to the Fractalius look that I'm after.
